A small but beautiful tree, particularly when in flower, every branch of it 
terminating in a large panicle of deep yellow blossoms. Our specimens were 
principally taken from a tree, perhaps introduced, growing at Negapatam ; 
but we have it also from the missionaries, who appear to have found it wild 
in Tranquebar. 
894. (10) C. montana (Heyne:) shrubby: branches glabrous, ascending: 
leaflets 10-12 pair, oval-oblong, obtuse at both ends, sometimes slightly 
emarginate, pointed with a deciduous bristle, glabrous on both sides, slightly 
glaucous on the under: petiole and rachis without glands: stipules minute, 
subulate: peduncles glabrous, many-flowered, numerous towards the ends of 
the branches, axillary or forming a large terminal panicle: flowers long-pedi- 
celled, rather small: legumes linear, straight, thin, glabrous and shining, when 
ripe hard woody and terminating in a hard conical or lanceolate point.—

The three upper stamens are very short, which has led Roth to overlook 
them entirely, as he does the deciduous bristle that terminates the lcaflets. 
b. Petioles or rachis furnished with glands : legumes straight, compressed, ma y-seeded, 
mucronate, the point somewhat deciduous ; valves thin and papery. 
895. (11) C. glauca (Lam. :) arboreous: branches numerous, spreading in 
every direction; young ones irregularly angled, almost glabrous: leaflets 
4-6 pair, with an erect clavate gland between each of the 2-3 lower pair, 
oval, broadest at or below the middle, the upper ones the largest; upper 
side glabrous, under glaucous and slightly pubescent : stipules linear-subu- 
late, falcate : racemes axillary, corymbiform, long-peduncled, erect, crowded 
near the ends of the branches, about half the length of the leaves: flowers 
large, long-pedicelled, the pedicels subtended by an ovate acuminated cadu- 
cous braetea : petals all nearly equal: anthers all fertile, equally long, the two 
lower on rather longer filaments than the others: legumes drooping, linear, 
straight, thin, glabrous, the margin a little tumid.—ZLam. enc. meth. 1. p. 647 ;

896. (12) C. suffruticosa (Koen.:) arborescent ; branches numerous, as 
cending ; the extreme ones and young shoots slightly pubescent: leaflets 
7-10 pair, with an erect clavate gland between the 2-3 lower pair, obovate- 
oblong, unequal and narrowest at the base, broader upwards, the extreme 
ones the longest ; upperside glabrous, under glaucous and slightly pubescent : 
Stipules linear-subulate, faleate: racemes axillary, corymbiform, long-pe- 
duncled, approximated at the ends of the branches, shorter than the leaves: 
flowers large, long-pedicelled, the pedicels subtended by an oblong-lanceo- 
€ acuminated bractea: petals unequal, the two lower smaller than the up- 
r three: anthers all fertile, about equally long, the.

slightly tumid.—Heyne in Roth, nov. sp. p. 213; DC. prod. 2. p. 496 ; Spr.
